Two Years!
« on: August 31, 2011, 02:58:39 AM »
Today the forum is two years old.  :D  Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us to grow. We've doubled in population in the last year. Why? Because of our great members.  We have a core community of regulars who are here most every day. You guys are so friendly to the new people who need help with a problem that plenty of them stick around. We could not ask for more.

I recently praised our moderation staff and the vigilance of the members who report spam and naughty posts who keep us safe. I'd like to throw out a big thank you to the folks who have contributed guide corrections and in some cases entire articles! We are second only to the wikia in terms of pure Sims 3 content because of those gifts of information. I'm not even sure of that -- look at what you have created. Running a google site:carls-sims-3-guide.com search reveals 53,000 results. What a massive database of information to anyone new to this game.

Schipperke posted an invitation to a special party to commemorate this second anniversary. We invite you to share your simself there. I even bothered to upload me. All cheers are welcome here or there regardless. We are indebted to you for allowing us to create something larger than ourselves, where people can express their fondness over a common interest.

I have said it before and will say it again to our beloved members. We are here to stay, and I look forward to your support as the guide and forum continue to evolve.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Cheers Carl! Without the fabulous Moderating and Administering staff (and of course, every single member that doesn't spam), I'd be long gone. It'd be my little correction to the sitemap, and then off to play Sims.
Cheers to, not only the Forum, but to you yourself Carl! As attested by my near-defeat running a Social Studies forum, I can see how hard it is.
And that host isn't nearly as awesome as I hear SMF is.

Thank you Carl for all your time and effort keeping the guide and forum going.  It's true that if it weren't for all the awesome members who contribute every way possible there would be no exsistence of our wonderful community, but you my man, are the reason we are here.
Ignorance is not an excuse, please read the forum rules.

I can scarcely believe it's been two years since I registered as the second member.  However the rest of you found us, I'm certainly glad you're here.  I'm so proud of what we've accomplished that I'm in tears.  We have the best Webmaster, Moderator staff, and members that I could ever wish for.  Thank you all for sticking around and becoming our family.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!  ;D I've been here for 1 Year and 9 Months (Nearly) now, I couldn't have asked for a better community and a place to go where everyone is your friend. This is an old saying but, even if the Wikia has more the saying goes Quality not Quantity and this forum has both.  ;)

This is a great forum - the only one I frequent and nearly perfect. So it's great that it's reached its second birthday! A year and a half for me now :)

Wow.
I've only been here a few months but I'm always here even if I'm not posting. I don't really consider myself a regular yet, but I'm glad to be here to celebrate with you guys. You're all awesome, and such great help even with things that are non-Sim related.

Happy 3rd Birthday to the Forum!

I might have only joined in February but I was easily welcomed into the group! The guide is also a big help and the challenges are so much fun. The help that some members give and the amazing writing talents from others, really make me enjoy coming here.

So, a big thank you to the Administrators, Moderators, and every member! Happy Birthday!
